Wedding & events

Yes! We carry a policy with 1 million in liability coverage. We strongly encourage our couples to work with vendors who carry insurance as well. Additionally, all of our planners & coordinators are both TABC Certified and Food Handlers Certified. 

Good Question! Let me ask you this...

  • Are you in the middle of a busy season in life? Do you have 5-10+ hours per week until your wedding date to dedicate to planning, emails and meetings? Do you have friends or family that can make that commitment for you?
  • Are you comfortable planning a large event?
  • Do you need guidance and support throughout the planning from a professional?
  • Do you live out of state? 
  • Does your chosen venue have a planner/coordinator requirement?

Did you know the average full scale wedding can take nearly 500 hours of behind the scenes planning time? Without a planner, you'll spend hours each week researching vendors, reviewing contracts, emailing, reading blogs, thinking about design elements.

Most couples don't have experience in planning large events or weddings and will need professional guidance from a planner in some form during the planning process.

If you are up for the challenge or on a budget our coordination package would be the best choice.

If you just need a little help & guidence we recommend partial planning + design.

If you are totally overwhelmed and don't know where to start or have enough hours in the day full planning + design is for you!

No! While we have curated a vendor list* of the best of the best you are welcome to use vendors of your choice.

We are here to help you navigate the wedding planning process, and we are happy to offer professional and experienced advice on which vendors to avoid and which vendors are rock stars. We’ve seen it all and we want you to have the best experience with all the vendors you book, but this is your wedding and we will never take over the decision making. Your wedding should be a reflection of you and we are here help you achieve the wedding of your dreams!

*our curated vendor list is available upon booking and includes our tried and true favorites, vendors our industry friends love & trust as well as few vendors we recommend staying away from - no one wants to book bar service that shows up 4 hours late!

There are hundreds of venues to choose from in the Austin and surrounding area and we've had the privilege of working at a lot of them. If we haven't worked at your venue, don't fret, we know all the right questions to ask!

We work with a limited number of couples each year so that we can each wedding the focus and attention it deserves.

If you are interested in working with Grae & Grace Collective and we have your date available, we will set up an initial consult to get to know one another and learn about your planning needs.

If you want to move forward, a signed planning contract and payment or 50% deposit (option of deposit ill full payment depends on service booked)is required to secure your date.
